Just a few weeks left

We're getting close to the due date of October 7th. As we've seen with our friends and family, that date is nothing more than a dart on the calendar. Kari has started feeling some cramping, so I'm guessing we're progressing nicely right now. Kari just had her weekly checkup and everything is looking really good.

I spent a few days getting the last of the baby stuff together. Pops and Cindy were nice enough to spring for a Bob Revolutions stroller, so we got that put together with the infant seat adapter. Also, I got the car seat set up in the car as well. One would think those things are really easy to set up, but when you think about dropping your newborn in there, it makes you read the directions, read them again, consult the car owners manual, pull everything out and start two times to make sure you got it right. Still not sure if it's correct.

Rocky has been glued to kari's side lately. At night when her feet swell, he'll start to lick them (his way of helping out). He's also become much more alert and on watch than previously. He'll make a marvelous big brother.
